It's not like TSR and WotC haven't thrown some of the best designers, artists, and editors in the business at this setting. And it isn't like the various Dragonlance teams haven't tried to shake things up . . . they must be on, what, their sixth cataclysm or so? I don't think there are "Six Simple Things That Would Fix Dragonlance Once and for All Time" because the problems or limitations are inherent with the setting in all incarnations, just as Vern Troyer's 2' 8" height is fundamentally inherent to him. Suddenly adding githyanki or cybernetics or more dragons won't fix Dragonlance, nor will killing off all the Kender and Tinker Gnomes (however desirable I might find this might to be). As plenty of other folks have already pointed out, the things that make one person love Krynn are the very same things that make other people hate Krynn.So to me, it’s not like Dragonlance is a marginal case, where it just needs a couple of nips here, and few tucks there, and the BAM! 80% of the haters out there see the light. I think you would have to, for all intents and purposes, destroy the setting in order to appease the critics. So why bother? Maybe the very best thing to do with the setting is provide MORE of everything that the fans love and the detractors hate. More Kender! Double Tinker Gnomes! Three novels a month!</blockquote>
